A Hollywood producer drained businesses of $12million to fund expensive cars, remodeling his mansion and even a surrogacy, prosecutors allege.
David Brown, 39, was indicted on Wednesday by federal prosecutors on 21 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and identity theft.
Prosecutors claim he defrauded financial backers by funneling cash for production companies into his own pocket, spending frivolously as he did.
Brown worked as a film producer for indie Hollywood productions, alongside the likes of Jenna Ortega in 2021's 'The Fallout'.
Most recently he worked on the Academy Award nominated flick 'The Apprentice', which detailed the rise of Donald Trump.
